My Autograph Collection - Warning: Lots of very large images.

(0 reviews)

Well, a few years ago I joined a site called fanmail.biz and started sending off fanmail in the hope that I could build up an autograph collection. Last summer didn't go so well in terms of successes with only 1 out of the 10 or so I sent off coming back, but I decided to give it another shot this summer. So I was telling Shyla's chat just now about getting Dawn French's back this morning, and Roger Lloyd Pack's yesterday and they prompted me to make a blog post about it... So here it is. It's fairly small atm, but I'm hoping to make it larger as time goes on....

 

Imageshack gave up the ghost after uploading the majority of these, so I used Tinypic for a few... Therefore some of the pictures are much larger than the others.

 

Anyways here goes:

 

#1. Team Xterminator from Robot Wars... My year 6 teacher got this for me one Christmas because she knew how much I loved Robot Wars, and her husband worked with the guys who made this one. Also being from Hereford myself the team were always special as my home team ;)

#5. Boris Johnson.

#6. Richard Armitage - First real success at sending off fanmail. I had asked for 2 photos because mum wanted one too, and he sent back two. So it was a happy day :D

#9. David Tennant - I actually wrote back to him again later that same year for a friend and he sent back another signed photo of him addressed to that friend.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I'd have thought Michael J. Fox's signature wouldn't be that neat considering the Parkinson's.
